Buttered fatassses, meat sauce and uncooked steaks are way far yonder
behind bacon grease as bear bait.

Justice is a sex offender lashed to a tree in the northwoods,
liberally smeared with bacon grease, perhaps not far from the
sex-offender prison (with color TV) in Moose Lake he dodged by legal
chicanary. The prison is full but the northwoods is capacious.

As one of the new counselors is tempted "We're in the center of
five hundred acres of woods ..."

What's in the bear spray, napalm?

AKA bear repellant, AKA pepper spray, it burns without combustion.
There have supposedly been instances where noobs have applied it like
mosquito repellant. I prefer units with a heavy lead content, myself,
say 10mm to 12 ga. In some states you can get bear repellant where
pepper spray is outlawed. Same cans, different lettering.

And the Bear Spray tends to shoot farther and with more volume, then
small cans of "pepper spray"

There are a couple advances of pepperspray over bullets
1. Doesnt harm the animal
2.Tends to temporarily blind them so they cant see you to attack.

On the other hand...#2 is really really Iffy.....

Just make sure you're up wind of the critter. Less chance of
'blow back'.

Carry a caliber suitable to stop the attack, and use pepper spray as
your first line of defense..but be also prepared to quickly switch to
the caliber you chose if the spray doesnt fend off the attack.

"Attention campers. The correct answer to 'What do you do when

Depends on ones relations with ones children. Id have slavered meat
sauce and put some fresh uncooked steaks in my sons shirt pocket if we
had been anyplace there were bears of any note.

Well, they're you're kids, so "You brung 'em in, you can take 'em

That's Charles in the hammock. He's a Counselor at a Summer Camp...
and used to go there when he was a kid. He's the sort of counselor
that the kids love, but the parents can't stand.
What makes the "experience" so much fun is that the Camp is now
sponsored by the ASPCA, PETA, The American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry, and Greenpeace." In other words, not a single
group which knows beans about Nature, true Native American History, or
children under the age of 24.
I think you'll like it.

Marvelous cartoon! I just read em start to finish. Funny as hell and
accurate.

Had me laughing hysterically in a number of places.

I just laugh my self silly reading them. And inflicting them on
friends.

I bought some rolling head pry bars. Each lasted less than one use.

The 4-piece set? I still have mine 30 years later but only use it for
alignment and as a jack handle. I think I've used one or another of
them for prying two pieces of wood apart, too. Nothing rough.

I bought 2 4 piece sets while attending NAMES last year. I've killed four of them in
matching pairs.

Are they breaking from being too brittle, or bending due to lack of
hardening?


Snapped like peanut brittle.

My Sears pry and a coupe of Mc Master Carr pry's are going strong still.

Bueno. My HF digging bar is just peachy. The medium pry bar with a
round and a flat chisel end is softer than hell on the round end.

Variable quality. We had a local place that sold chineese tools until it folded. Their
tools tended to be a-ok, never had to return any.


Same for some metal stamps. One hit on 1018 and my O stamp is now in BOLD FONT.

Oops! I haven't tried mine yet.

Might as well test them. Rc50 is what a good stamp should be able to mark iirc.
Obviously, the harder the target you stamp, the shorter the stamp life.

Try all the characters, I suspect they HT one character at a time in a large batch with
typical varying results.

That would tend to suck. I'd have to go to HF and say "Hi, Mr.
Manager. I'm going to need all your sets of alphanumeric stamps, a
hammer, and a place to sit and try them. Here are the bad characters
from the set I bought. I brought my own metal to sample 'em."

Might as well.

Hmm, I wonder if it's just not worth it? g

I'm thinking I need a lead to a source of quality stamps and just go with it. Expecting
China at a low price point to get things right 36-40 times in a row is not realistic.

What if they are already buttered? Or better yet, covered in honey

Rotary rasp or file tool

Other items?

Anchor on a Toyota?


You had a '73 Corona? The poor design let the brake pads to eject if
you had to brake hard, in reverse. It could have used two anchors.

How fast do you have to run to out run a bear? Faster than the guy next to you.


If the bear doesn't have freinds...

Except for mothers with cubs I think bears avoid each other. There
aren't too many animals that get along well. Watch a bird feeder for
instance. Even mating pairs don't share.

Reply: Depends on the birds. The Sparrows, doves, finches all share our
feeder. Only thing that stops them at about 30 is there is no more room on
the perches, rim, or tray underneath.

Around here only the chickadees will share. The male cardinal makes
the female wait elsewhere although there is a second perch on the
opposite side.

I was feeding some disgusting cheese crackers to seagulls and noticed
that one big, tough-looking but crippled one dominated the rest. When
I tossed them closer than he dared approach he wouldn't let any of the
others past, so I had him hobbling back and forth playing goalie in
front of a line of crackers. After a minute or so I threw them the
whole bag and backed away.

They don't have to get along, to hunt.

What are you guys hunting with? I'm starting to think keeping a few 20ga slugs with me
while bird hunting might be a good idea.

Ayup. And they are rather cheap if you buy em in 5 packs. Works a treat
on bigger game, 2 and four legged, and does a rather decent job on the
passenger compartments of motor vehicles.

Are you going to explain that last part, mon? vbg


Think it actually needs an explaination? Slugs work better than
buckshot when one needs to put leaks in motor vehicles and their
contents.
